Unfortunately, there's not simple formula to identifying all of the factors of a number and it can be a tedious process when trying to identify the divisors of larger numbers. To find the factor combinations of the number 5,340,503, it is easier to work with a table - it's called factoring from the outside in.
We start by creating a table and writing 1 on the left side and then the number we're trying to find the factors for on the right side in a table. Then, below that, write the numbers as a negative as well.
| 1 | 5,340,503 | |
| -1 | -5,340,503 |
When you multiply two negative numbers together, you get a positive number. That means both the positive and negative numbers are factors of 5,340,503.
Example:
1 x 5,340,503 = 5,340,503
and
-1 x -5,340,503 = 5,340,503
Notice both answers equal 5,340,503
With that explanation out of the way, let's continue. Next, we take the number 5,340,503 and divide it by 2:
5,340,503 ÷ 2 = 2,670,251.5
If the quotient is a whole number, then 2 and 2,670,251.5 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,340,503 | |
| -1 | -5,340,503 |
Now, we try dividing 5,340,503 by 3:
5,340,503 ÷ 3 = 1,780,167.6667
If the quotient is a whole number, then 3 and 1,780,167.6667 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,340,503 | |
| -1 | -5,340,503 |
Let's try dividing by 4:
5,340,503 ÷ 4 = 1,335,125.75
If the quotient is a whole number, then 4 and 1,335,125.75 are factors. In this case, the quotient is not a whole number. Don't write anything down and try the next divisor.
Here is what our table should look like at this step:
| 1 | 5,340,503 | |
| -1 | 5,340,503 |
If you did it right, you will end up with this table:
| 1 | 7 | 59 | 67 | 193 | 413 | 469 | 1,351 | 3,953 | 11,387 | 12,931 | 27,671 | 79,709 | 90,517 | 762,929 | 5,340,503 |
| -1 | -7 | -59 | -67 | -193 | -413 | -469 | -1,351 | -3,953 | -11,387 | -12,931 | -27,671 | -79,709 | -90,517 | -762,929 | -5,340,503 |
